My Hero!

Oh happy Thursday, dear friends. Gorgeous day here: blue sky, warm sun, cool breeze.... I want to bottle this day and stick it on my mantel, a little something for those long winter days. In the meantime, I went for another bottle - Martini Rosso - oh so yummy yum yum and perfect for a day like today. I'm in the garden, on the swing, got my drink, got my music ...err, why am I here? Oh yes, to show you my card. It's time for the May Blog Party at Waltzing Mouse and the theme is "Felt / Cozy Fabric". I used my felt to make something manly for my husband. Why? Because he finally agreed to help me organise / sort out / tidy up the conservatory where the cat and I do our crafting. I've been talking about it with him for weeks now, and finally (and suddenly) he enthusiastically exclaimed "I'll get it done for you!" Perhaps the prime rib roast dinner which I nonchalantly mentioned may have stimulated his enthusiasm.... who knows?! You can tell that ours is a healthy marriage of covert negotiations! With or without the rib roast, he is still my hero.

I'm going for a nautical-ish theme since my husband loves going out to sea. I cut a strip of light blue felt with Spellbinder's Edgeabilities Classic Bracket Border and its held down by a couple of silver eyelets. I cut out a circle and used some kitchen twine to make a reef knot.

Sounds like a beautiful day, enjoy! Such a sweet nautical card and wonderful idea. Love the way you did the inside with the beautiful stitching. Eyelets look great keep using them as they are a great touch!

Great card!!Love that label...I call my hubby "My hero" all the time...usually when he's taken out the trash.I've found that it's the little things that help me get him to accomplish the big things! :)
